About this wine

Grapes

The blend is 80% Refosco and 20% Pignola.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested in mid-October and collected in special trays. They are placed in drying chambers, which concentrate the compounds and chemical elements that shape the aromas of the grapes and of the finished wine. After drying they are sorted and crushed, then fermented for three weeks in temperature-controlled automatic tanks.

Ageing

The wine ages for 24 months in French oak barrels from Allier and Tronçais. It is then bottled and rests a further 24 months in bottle.

Tasting profile

Dry red with notable aromatic and flavour complexity.

Serving and pairing

The wine can be drunk young or cellared.
